131 West 112th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 131 West 112th Street in Harlem, owned by 131 West 112th Owner, Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between March and May 2025, the building faced multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints, primarily related to heat/hot water systems and plumbing issues, including two separate water supply problems in April 2025. There were also multiple instances of pest-related complaints, with authorities unable to gain access to inspect the conditions on several occasions.

Notable violations from a January 2024 inspection of Apartment 1B include issues with water leaks, mold, broken plaster surfaces, defective floor tiles, and a problematic steam riser pipe, all of which remain open as of July 2025. The building's recent history shows recurring challenges with essential services, particularly during the 2025 period when multiple heat and hot water complaints were documented. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past five years, the property has experienced rat activity as recently as November 2024.

An illegal hotel room complaint was filed in 2018 but was closed following unsuccessful inspection attempts. The building's maintenance record since 2020 shows periodic issues with both heat and water systems, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. However, it's worth noting that the property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods, and completed rodent inspections in 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status.
